6.1 Summary of Year to Date Performance re. PCC Targets

The average monthly volume figures were reviewed. Looking at the CSP comparison for the most similar groups, Barnsley is performing very well and is within the averages of that group. In respect of violence against the person, although there is an increase across the Force and at Barnsley, District are still below the numbers in the most similar groups. The only other exception is all other theft which covers makes offs, theft from gardens etc. which is just on the higher limit of the averages, i.e. 0.8 crimes per 1k population.

In terms of the recent summary of performance over the last month, during April there was a reduction in burglaries. Violence in public has increased, over the last 90 days District had a spike on the weekends covering the 16th May and 25th May (BH weekend), with an average of 4-10 offences on these dates. Nationally there has been in an increase in public violence.

8. DISTRICT MANAGEMENT/VALUE FOR MONEY

8.1 Update from Key Force Meetings

JCB. There will be a joint collaboration board within JCB with the two Chief Constables and Crime Commissioners attending. Baselining will take place of different areas. The Board will guideline the financial floor, i.e. identify minimum savings with an expectation that departments will plan further savings above this figure. Subject matter experts will be the lead review officers with a core team of support. Benchmarking is expected to take around 6 months with corporate teams currently being advertised.

LPIB. ACC Byrne discussed ongoing Force-wide work around violent crime. Binge will now be named Op Tandem with the night shift taking over responsibility from the afternoon team. Work will take place around violent crime in terms of contact with the victim. Officers should try and contact the victim, however if there is no response then a Legal Services approved letter should be left at the victim’s home address outlining the crime number with advice that the incident will be filed unless the person makes further contact with SYP.

Officers will be able to file incidents a lot quicker if there are no further lines of enquiry, which CRB can progress.

The floor walker officers will remain at Alas Court longer than the anticipated end of May date; a phased return will be negotiated with Districts. The officers have been requested to brief the Command Team and Inspectors meeting with their findings around reducing demand.

The Doncaster LPU restructure is in place with only minor issues identified.
